We propose a compact power-on reset circuit consisting of a switched capacitor, a capacitor, and a Schmitt trigger inverter. A switched capacitor working with a clock signal charges the capacitor. Thus, the voltage across the capacitor is increased toward the supply voltage. The circuit provides a reset pulse until the voltage across the capacitor reaches the high threshold voltage of the Schmitt trigger inverter. The proposed circuit is simple, compact, has no static power consumption, and works for a wide range of power-on rising times. Furthermore, the clock signal is available while the reset pulse is activated. The proposed circuit works for up to 6 s of power-on rising time, and occupies a $60{\times}30{\mu}m^2$ active area.

A high step-up dc-dc converter is proposed for photovoltaic power systems in this paper. The proposed converter consists of an input current doubler, a symmetrical switched-capacitor doubler and an active-clamp circuit. The input current doubler minimizes the input current ripple. The symmetrical switched-capacitor doubler is composed of two symmetrical quasi-resonant switched-capacitor circuits, which share the leakage inductance of the transformer as a resonant inductor. The rectifier diodes (switched-capacitor circuit) are turned off at the zero current switching (ZCS) condition, so that the reverse-recovery problem of the diodes is removed. In addition, the symmetrical structure results in an output voltage ripple reduction because the voltage ripples of the charge/pump capacitors cancel each other out. Meanwhile, the voltage stress of the rectifier diodes is clamped at half of the output voltage. In addition, the active-clamp circuit clamps the voltage surges of the switches and recycles the energy of the transformer leakage inductance. Furthermore, pulse-width modulation plus phase angle shift (PPAS) is employed to control the output voltage. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and experimental results obtained from a 400W prototype are presented to validate the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper presents a parameter tuning method of a LLC resonant converter for a wireless charging circuit. A switched-capacitor is used to change the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit. The simulation results verify that the efficiency of the power transfer can be improved by a duty control of the switched-capacitor for various values of the coupling coefficient.

A flyback type power converter circuit for switched reluctance motor drives is presented. In this converter circuit, the energy extracted from an off going phase is stored in an additional capacitor. The energy stored is used to either be returned to the source frequently or energize the conducting phase during the conduction interval through the transformer. The additional switch to pass the energy stored in the capacitor to the source or the conducting phase is switched under a relatively low voltage condition. Its switching frequency is relatively high so that the size of the transformer can be reduced. The design guideline for the capacitor and the transformer is described. The effectiveness of the presented converter circuit is compared to other circuits through the analysis and experiment.

본 논문에서는 Switched-Capacitor 지연 기법의 새로운 고해상도 DPWM 발생기를 사용한 Dynamic-Response-Free SMPS를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 Switched-Capacitor 지연 기법을 이용한 DPWM 발생기의 내부 커패시터 전압 기울기를 제어하는 방식으로 DPWM의 duty ratio를 결정한다. 제안된 회로는 컨버터의 피드백 전압과 기준전압을 비교하여 DPWM 발생기의 내부 캐패시터에 충방전되는 전류량을 제어하는 방식으로 출력전압 tracking이 가능하다. 따라서 제안된 회로는 기존 closed loop 제어 방식의 SMPS들에서 문제점이 되고 있는 동적 응답특성을 고려할 필요가 없으며, 출력 전압에 overshoot/undershoot로 인한 ringing 현상이 발생하지 않는다는 큰 장점을 가진다. 제안된 회로는 1MHz~10MHz까지 스위칭주파수를 사용자가 선택할 수 있으며, 100MHz의 내부 제어 동작 주파수로 10MHz 최대 스위칭 주파수(DPWM) 발생이 가능하다. 100MHz의 내부 제어 동작 주파수를 사용하여 10MHz 스위칭 주파수 발생시 소모되는 내부 회로의 최대 전류는 2.7mA이며, 출력 버퍼를 포함한 전체 시스템의 전류 소모는 15mA이다. 제안된 회로는 0.125%의 DPWM duty ratio 해상도를 가지고 부하에 최대 1A까지 전류공급이 가능하며, 최대 리플 전압은 8mV이다. 동부하이텍 BCD $0.35{\mu}m$ 공정 파라미터를 이용해 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 제안된 회로의 동작을 검증하였다.

최근 switched capacitors 및 고정 capacitors와 능동소자를 利用한 analong 여파기 실현에 큰 관심을 갖게 되었다. Switched capacitor는 저항에 비해 온도특성 및 선형특성이 양호할 뿐 아니라 Si chip 면적이 훨씬 적게 소요되고 MOS기술에 의해 완전 IC화가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 저항과 switched capacitor를 사용해 Gyrator 여파기내의 모든 저항을 switched capacitor로 대친시킬 SC-Gyrator 여파기를 실현했다. 실험결과 Gyrator여파기와 SC-Gyrator 여파기의 특성이 만족할 만큼 일치함을 확인했다.

Renewable energy resources such as wind and photovoltaic power generation systems demand a high step-up DC-DC converters to convert the low voltage to commercial grid voltage. However, the high step-up converter using a transformer has limitations of high voltage stresses of switches and diodes when the transformer winding ratio increases. Accordingly, conventional studies have been applied to series-connect multioutput converters such as forward-flyback and switched-capacitor flyback to reduce the transformer winding ratio. This paper proposes new single-ended converter topologies of an isolation type and a non-isolation type to improve power efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and output ripple. The first proposal is an isolation-type charge-pump switched-capacitor flyback converter that includes an extreme-ratio isolation switched-capacitor cell with a chargepump circuit. It reduces the transformer winding number and the output ripple, and further improves power efficiency without any cost increase. The next proposal is a non-isolation charge-pump switched-capacitor-flyback tapped-inductor boost converter, which adds a charge-pump-connected flyback circuit to the conventional switched-capacitor boost converter to improve the power efficiency and to reduce the efficiency degradation from the input variation. In this paper, the operation principle of the proposed scheme is presented with the experimental results of the 100 W DC-DC converter for verification.

A power management controller circuit with switched capacitor mode down regulator and battery charger block for semi-active RFID tags was proposed and fabricated. The main purposes of the proposed switched capacitor mode down regulator and battery charger block are to reduce standby current and to provide a self-controlled thin film battery charger by detecting the received RF power, respectively. Fabricated chip area is $360,000{\mu}m^2$ and measured standby current was about $1.3{\mu}A$. To further reduction of standby current, a wake-up circuit has to be included in the power management controller.

Modem standard CMOS process technology suffer from so large amount of PVT i.e process, voltage and temperature variation over 30% of its desired value that accurate resistor value is hard to be achieved. A filter using switched-capacitor(SC) circuit has a time constant proportional to relative capacitor area ratio rather than its absolute value. If the PLL's loop filter were made out of SC circuit, there could be much less PVT variation problem. Furthermore, programmability on the loop filter can be achieved In this paper, we present the PLL with SC loop filter. The accuracy provided by SC filter would be helpful to enhance PLL's locking behaviour.

A new multiple-output dc-to-dc converter based on a switched capacitor circuit is proposed. The proposed converter offers multiple outputs that can be individually regulated by a direct output voltage feedback or indirect cross regulations. The performance of the new converter is demonstrated using a 10W experimental converter that delivers 5V/1A output and 3.3V/1A output from a 10∼15V input source.
